Endine died help plz i drive a 1995 z28 and i came home today and i left the car idleing so i could put some trans fluid in the trans and i dripped some oil on the manifold right behind the passenger side front infectors 2 seconds later the car died so ok i went arount to turn it on then it made some weird noiseses then died i looked at the AT THE WATER TEMP AND IT WAS AT LIKE HALF WAY so i assumed "overheated" and i tried again turned and did the same thing it shoulders than stalls .ITS NOT STARTING BUT SHUDDERING AND DIEING AND IT JUST GETS REAL HOT so WAS IT THE OIL ON SOME SENSOR EER WHAT.ok so i realized the fans had come loose and were pushing on the front of the engine so i let it cool put the fans on again and still nada wont even shudder now any advice welcome.
the injectors are sealed so unless there was some frayed wiring (not likely) I don't see the oil shorting anything out. Our cars don't like water on anything electronically especially the opti. The oil drips sound totally unrelated to be honest with you. Confused you said you put the fans back on and it doesn't shutter now? So it's running ok now, won't start/run at all, runs without overheating or shuttering and your just wondering what caused the problems or what?

well i did that no spark i noticed the engine was turning over way to fast so i think i might have a broken timing chain that would cause the heating up and the no spark on an lt1 right.+ it would cause the kapoot right
